Geo,
I tinned all wires that used a screw connector. The wiring rebuild is over 20
years old with no electrical problems. Just make sure you do a thorough job.
Clean the wire and twist to make it as small/narrow as possible. I would use a
lead/tin electrical solder . Radio Shack still sells the stuff. Get a high tin
ratio, melts quicker, less potential damage to the insulation.
